Having two functions, one exported, one static with same name -- that
sounds quite evil, right?

mmu_context.c: * unuse_mm
mmu_context.c:void unuse_mm(struct mm_struct *mm)
mmu_context.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(unuse_mm);
swapfile.c:static int unuse_mm(struct mm_struct *mm,
swapfile.c:	      		      retval = unuse_mm(start_mm,
entry, page);
swapfile.c:					retval = unuse_mm(mm,
entry, page);
swapfile.c:		 * or while we dropped it in unuse_mm().  The
